[PATCH v2 28/34] kasan, vmalloc: add vmalloc support to HW_TAGS

From: Andrey Konovalov <andreyknvl at google.com>

This patch adds vmalloc tagging support to HW_TAGS KASAN.

The key difference between HW_TAGS and the other two KASAN modes
when it comes to vmalloc: HW_TAGS KASAN can only assign tags to
physical memory. The other two modes have shadow memory covering
every mapped virtual memory region.

This patch makes __kasan_unpoison_vmalloc() for HW_TAGS KASAN:

- Skip non-VM_ALLOC mappings as HW_TAGS KASAN can only tag a single
  mapping of normal physical memory; see the comment in the function.
- Generate a random tag, tag the returned pointer and the allocation,
  and initialize the allocation at the same time.
- Propagate the tag into the page stucts to allow accesses through
  page_address(vmalloc_to_page()).

The rest of vmalloc-related KASAN hooks are not needed:

- The shadow-related ones are fully skipped.
- __kasan_poison_vmalloc() is kept as a no-op with a comment.

Poisoning and zeroing of physical pages that are backing vmalloc()
allocations are skipped via __GFP_SKIP_KASAN_UNPOISON and
__GFP_SKIP_ZERO: __kasan_unpoison_vmalloc() does that instead.

This patch allows enabling CONFIG_KASAN_VMALLOC with HW_TAGS
and adjusts CONFIG_KASAN_VMALLOC description:

- Mention HW_TAGS support.
- Remove unneeded internal details: they have no place in Kconfig
  description and are already explained in the documentation.

Changes v1->v2:
- Allow enabling CONFIG_KASAN_VMALLOC with HW_TAGS in this patch.
- Move memory init for page_alloc pages backing vmalloc() into
  kasan_unpoison_vmalloc().
